  JOYFUL MAN  Ephesians 5:25-33 Devotional:- “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself” (V. 28) NKJV Love is the summary of the great responsibility God has given to a man who wants to be happy in his home. Love is the attitude of the matured. Loving does not mean that all will be well. Loving your spouse is the act of molding and raising her for the best. That is why love in the family either to the spouse or the children should be with positive education (Ephesians 4:13-15). But love interprets so many things. Love is sacrificing time, money and self. It is creating time, money and self to help and build a united and happy home. Where there is love, there will be honour, which is the major weapon to win your wife (1 Peter 3:7). Not as becoming their subject, but understanding her nature and putting her where she belongs in your heart. A man who wants to be happy should also respect his wife and recognize her importanc...

THE RICH FOOL            

Luke 12:13-21
Devotional Verse: - "And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (Vs.15)

    It is amazing to hear that people can be rich and foolish at the same time. It looks contradictory. This is because in our thinking, we expect every rich person to be wise. We often assume that it takes wisdom to be rich. This assumption is quite true but we have not taken time to separate Godly wisdom from worldly wisdom (James 3:13-18).
 
    Jesus responded to a man who was seeking to take up a case with his brother concerning inheritance. Jesus thought us to be careful of covetousness. As a citizen of the kingdom of God. Your life is no longer yours, not to think of the materials in your possession.  Jesus then gave a parable of a rich fool who does not know that all things belong to God. He was so selfish with his wealth that he lost his soul. Friend, don’t ever let this happen to you.
 
    The wisdom of the world tells people to stop giving to have more (Luke16:15) and makes them covetous. People with the wisdom of this world never see what they have as good enough. This is why they can do anything to keep getting more because their hope lies in money. The wisdom of God always asks us to give, because our trust is not in money but in His divine provision (Matthew 7:24). God will always ask you to give to know whether your love is for money or for Him. As a kingdom citizen, it is important that you get used to this. Be happy and grateful for the much God is giving you and you will have access to more of His Blessings. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me not to be a servant but a master to money.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
